![3. The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 4.70 × 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.50 x 10-8
m. Assume that the membrane behaves like a parallel plate capacitor and has a dielectric constant of 4.5. The potential on the
outer surface of the membrane is +57.0 mV greater than that on the inside surface. If the charge is due to positive ions (charge
+e), how many such ions are present on the outer surface?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2990239f-8be5-4138-bc55-22a7890b8344%2F5d73595c-5231-4673-8eb9-fe79a2fd3758%2F1m2r2r8_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
